- This Jeep Wrangler Overlook concept for SEMA has an added third row of seats.
- It's a foot longer than a standard Wrangler four-door, and the roof is five inches higher.
- The Overlook also has other Jeep accessories including upgraded shocks and fancier leather upholstery.
Jeep is taking a page from the Land Rover Defender's book by creating a special stretched version of the Wrangler with an additional row of seats and a stepped roofline. This concept is called the Wrangler Overlook and is headed for the SEMA aftermarket show in Las Vegas next week.
The Overlook is based on a four-door Wrangler Sahara and features a body that's lengthened by a foot and a raised roof at the rear that's five inches taller than normal. This provides enough room for a third row of seats. The roof extension also includes extra windows to see the world outside from the second and third rows, while the roof remains removable and a flip-up sunroof sits over the front seats.
The interior features black Katzkin leather with bronze accents, while embroidered Jeep logos, a leather-wrapped dashboard, and suede trim class up the vibe. The Overlook's exterior is finished in Sahara Bronze and it has a two-inch lift kit with fox shocks. Special 20-inch wheels are wrapped in 37-inch BFGoodrich all-terrain tires and there are extra off-road lights mounted up front.
While we don't expect to see Jeep put this one-off vehicle into production anytime soon, we do think there'd be a market for a three-row Wrangler if the company decided to build one. So only time will tell if this is simply a fun idea or something that may come to fruition in the near future.
Despite being raised on a steady diet of base-model Hondas and Toyotas—or perhaps because of it—Joey Capparella nonetheless cultivated an obsession for the automotive industry throughout his childhood in Nashville, Tennessee. He found a way to write about cars for the school newspaper during his college years at Rice University, which eventually led him to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for his first professional auto-writing gig at Automobile Magazine. He has been part of the Car and Driver team since 2016 and now lives in New York City.
